William Bradley Park, 1587 Linda Vista Dr, San Marcos, CA 92078

The playing surface of William Bradley Park’s Field # 3 has become uneven due to the settling of decomposing organic matter (the park was built on a former landfill in the 1960s). Field # 3 receives significant year around usage – an estimated 4,000 youth use the multi-sport field annually for baseball, softball, soccer and lacrosse – and is in immediate need of attention.

Project EverGreen, with a Hunter Industries community service grant and Hunter Helping Others employees, along with the Southern California Sports Turf Managers Association, and local landscape contractors and suppliers – all volunteers, have come together to donate time, expertise and supplies – with an estimated value exceeding $22,000 – to make this improvement in the City of San Marcos a reality.

Renovation Project Facts & Community Benefits

The renovation of William Bradley Park Field # 3 encompasses a variety of elements and tasks that will not only revitalize the park’s green spaces but also provide a sustainable platform for future generations to enjoy and maintain the facility. Work scheduled to be completed includes:

With an ever-increasing need for shade at existing school campuses for the safety of the students at lunch and with the physical education programs, San Elijo Middle has been selected for shade shelter installation. In conjunction with the Shade Shelter project, the field and site facilities projects at San Elijo Middle School developed in response to the higher attendance demands and curriculum requirements on the physical education program. SMUSD is removing the west end sand/volleyball courts and installing more basketball/volleyball hard courts. They are also bringing electrical and P/A speakers to the field area.
